Berkley Powerbait! Never Let Me Down!

good catch of 700 gram snakehead!

berkley powerbait 3" grub made the catch!

good size too... but a little bit thin on the body...

Another catch today from the berkley powerbait grub! this time i started to cast with some top water lure... but no reaction from the snakehead at the road side pond on way to Pitas... after that i reach back my bag, and started to hook the 3" Grub of berkley powerbait! this time i hooki it weedless due to the snag area around the pond...

after several cast from left to the right area, finally i got a strike! the bubbles coming out from the water and seems lika a big 1! then i let it take the berkley powerbait grub for 5 second... then i jerk it a bit to make sure the hook are fit to the snakehead mouth... don't ever think of a short fight with the rare snakehead, the strike just started the snakehead fight till the edge of the pond! i pull it up before unloose the hook... sure its a big one! i weighted it until i back to my office... 700 gram are the mark for my catch today!

surely i could say that the berkley powerbait soft plastic never let me down until the last choice of it still make me happy with my casting trip! watch out for my next catch! wait and see!

ABU GARCIA BAITCASTER : New Beginning, More Catch!

only catch a small snakehead today with my new beginning BC set of Abu Garcia..

the BC set with the catch!

Today as usual i go back to the spot where i catch my 1st snakehead with the Abu Garcia Baitcaster set... from the upper water it seems like no more of the snakehead living there, but not in my surprise, only 10 minutes gone by, i got a strike! i jerk it a bit, and came up a small size of snakehead... another also strike, but only the lure i retrieve out from water in front of me the snakehead strike it... miss! but at least i know there are still some of the snakehead living there... hopefully no one will come there and destroy again the habitat there...

another new beginning for my casting skill...

Top Water Lure!

the 3 snakehead catches with top water lure!

flying frog also got many strike!

the snakehead with the flying frog...
maybe its swim like frog...

storm popper... first catch!

quite good for a first cast, first strike!

when i was travelling to Pitas 22/10/2008, i found out that the pond i usually passby to Pitas already drain to the lowest level... around 2 feet only... then i saw some rises of the snakehead in the water... although the pond had quite few logs in it, it doesn't matter because i had some top water lure for my snakehead hunting! i hook up my newly buy Storm Popper, i cast it out to the middle of the pond... only by 2 jerk, i had a strike spontaniously! twice the snakehead strike before i could hook it up... i was really greatfull, because this are the 1st time i caught the snakehead using the popper. after that i got so many strike taht didn't came up with solid hook up. i put back the popper and reach out my flying frog ( as we called it in the MFN forum ) I slowly retrieve the lure so that it acts like a swimming frog, and this lure slao gave me another 2 snakehead, 1 abit smaller... only by 1 hour of casting i caught 3 of it... this are a new experience for me, and i will keep using the top water lure in this such condition of water...

NEW BAITCASTER SET & NEW CATCH!

the new open drain i found...

After i bought the baitcaster set, i had try it out for 2 days already... and today the abu garcia baitcaster already got catch and the catch are weighing around 400 gram to 500 gram... cast at a new spot, a drain that just being cleared... after 2 days practising the new baitcaster, i already could manage and handle the casting without any "mee goreng" happening... hopefully after this could catch more with this baitcaster!

Snakehead again! New Spot!

small 1 after more than a week without catches!

the killer lure! inline spinner + berkley powerbait SP

After for about more than a week i've been searching for my next catch, finally i manage to catch 1 small size of snakehead at a new spot. Although the spot doesn't seems promising, i still get a try. by using the killer lure ( inline spinner + berkley powerbait SP) i cast throughout the spot and from the silent of the water came out a strike! small size, but its really a wild 1 of snakehead...

i still in search of some other new spot for my casting trip... maybe someday or other time i will found a spot that i could break my personal record of 1.95 kg of snakehead... until then, wait for my next catch!

Barramundi + snakehead...

oppsss... just closed his eyes for the photo...

both the Barramundi weighting about 1.5 kg above...

After several times we getting to go for a casting trip with my brother in law, this time we went to the kuala abai rikaraya fishing park. i brought along the casting rod for my brother in law trial. i asked him to try out the lure from Abu Garcia to Rapala brand... after almost an hour cast, finally my brother in law got strike from the Barramundi in the pond... 4 times its strike and only 2 of its was brought up landed safely...

after 1 and a half hour, we finish our cast at the pond. by paying RM 15 per person / rod. we brought back the 2 Barramundi with us. then we went to the pond outside the rikaraya fishing park. this time we search for the snakehead. my brother in law use the berkley powerbait T-Tail minnow. i only receive 2 strike from the snakehead & my brother in law again with an almost 1 kg mark snakehead... after that we end our fishing session and went back home with an excitement in the face of my brother in law. this is the first time he uses the artificial bait for fishing.

first catch of the day...

After visiting family & friends here at kota belud for hari raya festive, i & my brother in law went to the spot at Kg Tambulion for snakehead casting... the water are a bit muddy... i only got 1 strike using the spinnerbait... my brother in law using the inline spinner + with berkley powerbait grub. after almost half an hour my brother in law got a solid strike... the size of the snakehead weight of 800 gram... then past some 15 minutes he got another strike! this time only a 500 gram snakehead came up, also using the inline spinner + berkley powerbait grub...

we went back home early after no more strike at the evening, 2 times my brother in law loose a big snakehead... maybe not really hooked up with the strike given by the snakehead...
